EXPLANATION OF VOTE
Mr. Speaker: I vote ``no'' on Sub. SB 270. Sub. SB 270 reinstates the unemployment
tax on positive balance employers. It seems to me that, given the robust health of the Kansas
economy, we could have extended the moratorium on this tax by at least one more year. I
do not wish to be a party to an unnecessary tax increase on the employers of Kansas. I vote
no.--John T. Edmonds

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION memorializing Congress to strengthen Social Security.

WHEREAS, Social Security provides American workers with universal, contributory,
wage related, inflation-proof benefits in the event of the retirement, disability or death of a
primary wage earner; and

WHEREAS, Social Security is more than a retirement program--it is a family program.
Without Social Security, about 54% of America's seniors and more than 15 million benefi-
ciaries overall would be living in poverty. About 98% of children under age 18 can count
on monthly cash benefits if a working parent dies; and

WHEREAS, Over the course of its existence as a federal program, Social Security's
trustees and administrators have carefully modified the benefit and financing structure
thereby ensuring the program's viability in light of major demographic trends and economic
developments; and

WHEREAS, In his 1999 State of the Union address the President urged Congress to
save Social Security first and dedicate the majority of the projected surplus to shoring up
the solvency of Social Security; and

WHEREAS, The long term solvency of Social Security can be ensured for future gen-
erations if reasonable and timely adjustments to the program are made by Congress: Now,
therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Kansas, the Senate concurringtherein: That we respectfully memorialize the federal government to use the budget sur-
plus to strengthen Social Security to ensure the continued financial viability of this essential
program; and

Be it further resolved: That we further memorialize the federal government to take
immediate steps to ensure that Social Security remains a universal, mandatory, contributory
social insurance system where risk is pooled among all workers, rather than transferred to
each individual worker; and

Be it further resolved: That the Secretary of State be directed to send an enrolled copy
of this resolution to each member of the Kansas Congressional delegation.
